Pre-orders for the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus launched on Friday in South Korea and early reports suggest the demand for the new devices was higher than demand for the Samsung's recently launched Galaxy Note 4, according to the WSJ.

On Friday, the country’s three mobile carriers began taking orders for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. In less than an hour, the carriers reported that orders had reached tens of thousands, outpacing the rate reported for Samsung Electronics Co.’s Galaxy Note 4 model at its launch here in September.

KT Corp reported 10,000 pre-orders in one minute and 50,000 pre-orders in 30 minutes. LG Uplus said it received 20,000 pre-orders for the new iPhones within 20 minutes. SK Telecom declined to provide specific numbers but said both its first and second batch of presale orders have been booked.

Analysts estimate presale orders at roughly 100,000 units. That tops the Galaxy Note 4 which reached 30,000 in the same time frame.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will launch in stores on October 31st.

So they attempted to ban iPhones because they're too jealous of the success they always get even if they have issues.

You must be thinking about the numerous evidence of samsung bribing hollywood stars or the samsung CEO lying to their shareholders. If you want to find a company that cheats, go and Google samsung.

@ibendgate does your mom accept payment or is she booked too?

iBendGate - October 28, 2014 at 10:58am

Yes. She does, when you pay me for giving pleasure to your wife, sister and mom. Cause you are simply useless. lol

The truth does hurt! The part where you all kept claiming yourselves better than the iPhones yet still get owned. Samsung fanboys don't even know it! This is exactly what mocking ads convey! For shame for all eternity!

Samsuck is a South Korean... isn't it? lol

I couldn't find an iPhone 6 plus even at 100 miles from me. Since it is Jailbroken definitely getting one

iBendGate - October 27, 2014 at 4:02pm

Yes. True. Cause no one sells now as most of them are coming back due to band and hair gate.

Did you even use it before start renting about it aimlessly ??? I owned freaking three iphone 6 plus with my three other people yet no one has fail to bend it while they were carrying it around inside of their fairly tight pocket. I guess you hate this product and you are defirenetely entitled to have your own opinion, but don't mock around those people who has different perspectives or preferences over the other phone, they like it whether it has good hardware setup or not, because they are different! You are different as well, so why don't we leave it that way, there is no point of mocking other people simply just because they have different ideas, if you really think that something has to be the certain way, I suggest you to join those countries what are built on a strong communism like China, or South Korea( they only tell you that they are not based on communism, but heard lot of things and how they are running but its covers only saying we are not communism, what a pathetic human being they are... I know I'm not a smartest on earth, but they act like one...)

Point noted

Exactly! Misleading claims of bending unless you are never careful with it!
